Here is the tig pedal I designed and fabricated in 2010. It has proven its utility over the years.

Nice work on that pedal! Solid build, looks like it can take plenty of use.

Good job looks like a lot of thought... Have you thought of a pulser circuit for the tig using a background keep alive system so the plasma does not go out between pulses... My son who is a pro welder showed me on old time welders using the foot pedal you can get a reasonable job... I like the thought of modernizing my nonplused machine

Yes, I have considered adding a pulser. But, for me it would just be a novelty, since I've not needed pulse for any of my projects.
